FURY RABIES WOLF PVP ( for pubs, like seeing ebayers cry) ( ladderbuild)

skills-
20 lycan,
20 rabies
20 werewolf,
20 oak
20 fury
1 raven. done at 90 ( i think lol)

stats - not sure yet ;) ( gonna be low str, enough for block dex, and rest vit )

items -

helm- uped jalals (was thinking shael to help with the bp)
ammy-highlords
ring- raven/carrion
belt- verdungoes
shield- shaeld storm.
gloves- trangs
boots- uped gores.
armor- chains of honor
weap- grief.
switch- cta/spirit.
10 shapecharms.
1 anni , 9 misc small charms whatever i can think of.

why i chose the ladder of items.=

helm - i know many argue cerebus is great. and it is. but i find that fhr/res/life from higher oak lends me more versality. i dont like not having ows.. but in high d zealot or barb duels i find it doesnt help me that much .( helps but not that much ) .. also 20 to str is the selling point im notorious for putting low low str . plus uped it had good d.

-ammy/rings = deadly strike , synergy atr , cbf , musts.

- weapon - ill be real im too lazy to cast bo , then go to stash then put on poison weapon/sheild. then switch back .. against botd , exile deadly strike pallys i get locked anyways .. and its not worth it ( imo , please dont flame me lol). with grief i can kill people in 1 hit ( have in the past.) , its fairly fast, -25 poison res to help abit with rabies , and my favorite part 20 % deadly strike putting me close to 70%.

-armor .. all the builds i read are great .. but enigma i dont like that much , since i making for melee only really f r/w dont really help all that much , str is a great deal of help . but 20 str on coh paired with 65 res and 8 % ll for when i quest i like alot more. defence isnt a strenght of druids. my fury druid has 7 k d and it dont help him , wiht all those angelics i get hit all the same. so coh has less d but i feel overall better stats for pure melee directed build but if i want to duel casters im still ok .

-boots - does anyone use anything other then gores ? heh

- belts - dr/ vit /fhr

-shield- ss naturally, ive always liked shaeld ss for druids i like the edge it gives but was thinking about puting a 5/5 poison facet what yall think .

-gloves- 25 poison dmg . was gonna say screw this and op for ows.. but i know 25 % is alot ..

so thats about it . just want some friendly suggestions from the experienced players on what they think of the build/ and my set up and any suggestions are welcomed . i thank you all for reading

Was thinking the same thing so many people worry about defence on a werewolf and I do not see why.

118 str uped so its nothing compared to the 196 for arreats being uped. plus its sexy . and whats a lem+ko .. pennys .. i didnt up it cause of d , i said its not the builds strong point that even my werewolf with 7 k has poor defence and is always hit . the uped d sentence at the end of my explanation was for anyone who would post and say use cerebus , cause it has higher d ( which many people have pointed out to me)

but anyhoo now im repeating myself and thats always bad .. i uped it cause i wanted to. sry should have stated that prior.

** as for gores , only pairs i have a 199 and 191 both uped.

I am currently thinking of making a very similar build with Duress in scarab husk instead of CoH....not quite as rich and found a Lo the other day with my huntermentalist.

Have you tried this out, what do you think?

I am worried about 9/5 speed and only range of 3 for melee. It seems like with equal range the charge pallys and ww barbs will have an advantage with the high def and uniterruptable attacks. And really that is all there is out there these days.

Edit: I'm a retard, completely missed your more recent posting about your difficulties.

your not retard ... this is my 2 cents.

ive dueled alot with druids/conc barbs and this is how it measures up for the druid.

range of 3 is good for you , i used grief phase so im assuming your gonna use zerker since you posted about range of 3. with the grief against any char i needed 4 clean hits max to kill them.

rabies is awesome but mine was much less atr since i was using highlord.raven instead of angelics so against some of those big d chars i just went in straight for fury.

on useast i join melee only games and there are quite a few asses but majority are melee only ( so im happy about that , no smite , no ww , etc )

shael your ss .playing those classes that hit hard and often , if i dont shael my ss im going down within seconds.

duress is a great armor . i love it , only reason i strayed from it is cause its a hybrid and thus skills helps alot. ( plus i dont have enough str to use most of my shit ) but if you go fury/rabies since you will use trang gloves , duress' ows and cb is really nice in the long run if you go pure fury draculs and duress pretty much grantees making them bleed which will help you great deals. but the key for this armor is the massive fhr and the cold dmg . seeing that alot of people use angelic and not everyone has cbf the cold dmg freezes. and if they do have cbf the extra 100 cold dmg each hit can finish guys off.

like i mentioned above 86 fhr is a must for a druid. we recover faster and with haveing a lack of d this too is a must.

against chargers , just side step slightly then shift fury them .( remember in any melee duels always walk ( you probably know this but stressing , its saved me lots )

for barbs i just stand still and shift fury , its 50/50 at that point heh.

zealots, no matter what they are wearing you always have a chance with these guys , 86 fhr , shaeled ss , and range of 3 will give you a big advantage . they can hit hard but speed kills.

and 9/5 is fine( initial attack is just as fast as any barb, and follow up better then majority). not the best , but it gets the job done.if you go 9/5 you must have a range of 3 imo.but this will hurt you more for rabies . i would probably go pure fury with a 9/5 attack . since you want to come out swing fast from start ( with phase i was swinging at 7 frames for rabies. and i sometimes got screwed cause of a slow attack )

anyways i hope some of that rambling helps good luck
